Save rock slide for a better mon. Sceptile has only 85 in attack. That isn’t good unles you can set up on it but that’s not a good idea. If a for Pokémon switches into your sceptile, don’t keep it in. It’s pretty much a death sentence. It’s attack won’t be able to ko a decently bulky fire type like heatran or Alola marowak. If you really want to deal with fire types with your sceptile, it’s decent speed could help you out. Just use hidden power rock. It will definitely do more damage from a 60 base power special compared to a 75 physical.

I’m honestly not that experienced in doubles but 1 thing I have learned is that team synergy is more important. Set up is more harder to pull off and move that damage multiple targets do 75% damage instead.

This means unless your attack or special attack is high, don’t expect too much. Also protect is almost a must on all pokemon.

Rock slide is a very popular move in doubles but whatever you do DONT I repeat DONT give sceptile rock slide I’m doubles because it will be even worse. Youll be doing even less damage.

If you take a look at all pokemon that have multi target move in doubles you see 1 thing they all have in common. They have really good attack or special attack.

If you plan sceptile in doubles use it’s mega. Electric moves are popular so you can absorb the electric move thrown at you. This make mega sceptile pair well with water Pokémon or flying pokemon. Since you want to take care of fire types then get a water Pokémon.

My moveset would be

Protect, leaf storm, dragon pulse and Giga drain.

I’m not too sure how this would work because like I said before, I’m not that experienced in doubles but it’s worth a shot.

Partner it up with a water Pokémon. Perhaps pelliper? Pelliper I hear really shines in doubles.
